As part of the opening of the exhibition Sense of Touch, Verena Schneider performed an engaging piece centered around natural materials. Created specifically for the pavement in front of the project space, the performance explores our relationship with natural materials and the idea of touch. After inviting the audience to focus on texture and the sensation of holding grains of sand in their hands, Verena Schneider performed with a bag of sand, blending acrobatics, circus arts, and dance.
